MILT Congress 2026 Flags Key Shifts in MICE and Luxury Travel
The recent 13th Annual MICE India & Luxury Travel (MILT) Congress at ITC Grand Goa has spotlighted key trends shaping the outbound corporate and luxury travel market. Industry leaders identified a shift from operational execution to becoming “strategic solutions providers”. Purposeful destination experiences, personalisation, and traveller trust are now paramount.
Significant statistics emerged from the event: 82% of Indian travellers now intend to extend business trips for leisure, while an overwhelming 97% plan to use AI during their leisure travel. This ‘bleisure’ trend and the growing reliance on AI for travel planning represent critical data points for tour operators and destination management companies tailoring packages for the Indian market.
